Marshall I don't mind you posting a few songs on youtube. I have to head out, Iwill get back to you Friday and we can sort it out.

Griff

i do appreciate the time you take to come by here griff...i will be on later today...i just started working again after 3 weeks off and i am trying to make up for lost time...so i will be working today..

Keep in mind that these songs are home recordings. I guess the quality is not too bad on some of them, but if people enjoy them, so be it ! I know Bill Harry from the old days back in the 'pool, he was a tremendous influence on the whole scene back in the '60,s. As for a few songs on youtube -- how about 'Waltz For Paddy' and 'Ain't That Somethin'. These songs were done for fun, and to see if I could still put things together. My son encouraged me to start playing again quite a few years back -- so there you go.

My son put these on for me. They are from an album recorded in 1973 with Johnny Gus -- Nigel Olsen ( drums) and myself. Recorded in London in about a week, between Guinness drinking sessions and whoever turned up on time. I 've always thought that they had a simple, honest, original sound. Gus always had a great voice -- just listen to 'Angel Baby' !

i look forward to putting putting paddys waltz on youtube...do you have some ideas of some images that we can use??things that were in the groove then or something that reminds you of playing the songs...it has to be a feeling great video type thing...after all your name is on it.....and i would hate to do any injustice to your music...but i will also research something from back when if you want....so are you coming out of retirement then??you could keep the mersey beat alive in canada...

first song is one i like something other guy and you guys do a good version of it...drinking is good for creativity sometimes tho isn't it?it sounds like club rock...at least music has come out of the basement tho huh..second song a little bit..worth a twice listen ...so far... .. in america they called it garage rock because that's where they played it..listening to the third now all of me....you guys seem comfortable jamming together...good music not overtly agressive sounding and well put together...it is very 70s isn't it???that fits right in with the music then..you could get bear records to release an album if you provided enough tunes...they take on mersey projects among other eras..have you ever had contact from them??all of me is great...like jazz...you are very accomplished..but we knew tha already....moving on to angel baby...damn that's a smooth graceful entrance into it...is that ronnie???!!! kidding i love the serious approach...i can almost feel myself at the sock hop...on to 5....moving on to if you got to make a fool of somebody...i like the horn in this one...is that an accordian too???probally a u k release???i enjoyed them griff and will search for it on vynil...i still got a kicing record player lolyoiu guys got shafted by decca too....bummer.......

i am working again today so later i will check more things and ideas out....i can get paid today for what i do...cash,so that will be my gas money for next week..so that's good i will not end up borrowing off the wife...mine or even someone elses....

this was my first stab at it...what do you think?i removed the inferior vid...bill harry was the only one on the web with pictures of paddy...i will ask him if i can use a few and fix some of the double images...

i made a newer one i like this one better.....i left your brother in...he fit in... i will probally try and do another using just black and white photos...i think i may have over exposed your image in the video...we will see how it does for a bit tho...tell me what you think...
